  • Comment: Lugnuts created the article, Storye book expanded it. This is a placeholder, to grab the date; the expansion is long enough, but I am still working on it. Please do not review it yet; I shall update this template as soon as it is completed. Thank you for your patience. Update: This nom is now ready for review.

• (Non-reviewer comment.) ALT1 needs to be reworded. The "executed the last painting of Winston Churchill" part is clearly not true. (For one recent example, see this painting.)  MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM  22:05, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

• Ah yes, thank you, I see what you mean.
• ALT2: ... that Alfred Egerton Cooper, who lost the use of an eye in World War I, executed the last portrait of Winston Churchill that was painted in his lifetime? Storye book (talk) 09:21, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

• Impressive expansion! New enough, long enough, neutral, well referenced, with no close paraphrasing from sources I can access. Image is beautiful, relevant, and appropriately licensed. QPQ is done. Hook facts are cited; ALT0 is confirmed and AGF for ALT2. 97198 (talk) 05:38, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
